G             C              D
Don't want to be free of hope
G              C             D
And I'm at the end of my rope
G           C             D
It's so tough just to be alive
G       C                    D
When I feel like the living dead
C                    G            
I'm giving it up so plain
                      D
I'm living my life in vain
               C 
And where am I going to?
                G
I got to really try
                   D
Try so hard to get by
               C            G C D G C D
And where am I going to?
 
G             C              D
I don't know where is up or down
G               C             D
And there ain't any love left around
G      C            D
Everybody wearin' a frown
G          C                 D
Waiting for Santa to come to town
C                      G            
You're giving it up so plain
                            D
You're living your lives in vain
                  C
And where are you going to?
                     G
You've got to really try
                   D  
Try so hard to get by
                  C            G C D G C D
And where are you going to?
G    C       D
Flip on your TV
G                 C                          D
And try to make sense out of that
G         C             D
If we were all in the movies
G         C                D
Maybe we wouldn't be so bored
C                     G
We're giving it up so plain
                          D
We're living our lives in vain
                  C
And where are we going to?
                  G
You gotta really try
                    D
Try so hard to get by
                   C            G C D G
And where are you going to?
   C   D G            C   D
Goodbye    goodbye
